Chose Huntress
Carbon Black was much more expensive and had a bit more buy-in than we were able to sell companies on. The portal was not as simplified. The services are similar in execution, and we did not find Carbon Black lacking, but Huntress is easy to use, easy to deploy, and a better …
Chose Huntress
To be honest, I haven't run into anything like Huntress. It's not a threat protection platform and it doesn't simply look for configuration changes. It is a unique product that starts with searching for footholds and grew into educating the user base on what cybersecurity is …
Chose Huntress
This is a difficult question because Huntress really doesn't compete with other products per se. There are EDR products that tout the same capabilities as Huntress, so if you were to compare just those features, you would still see Huntress as a winner because they are …
Chose Huntress
Pre-EDR Huntress is really unique in what it does. It is hard to directly compare that against anything since it is changed based
Chose Huntress
Huntress identified fileless malware that was not detected by ESET Antivirus and a KMS activation bypass that was installed on a server.
Chose Huntress
Huntress may not be a complete SOC such as Blackpoint, but the level of protection is close. Huntress provides a set of human eyes always hunting for persistent threats on your endpoints. Huntress also seems less noisy with no false positives, so no time is wasted reviewing …
Chose Huntress
Firstly from a business model, [VMware] Carbon Black [Cloud Managed Detection] was not outfitted for the MSP where Huntress is very MSP-friendly from an affordably easy point to entry to value for money licensing. Carbon Black TS is not bad in anyway, well, that we found, but …
Chose Huntress
Artic Wolf offers a superior service with dedicated resources and personalized service. This is offered at a premium price and we decided not to invest very heavily in this type of service yet. We don't need a dedicated team with intimate knowledge of our business at this time. …
Chose Huntress
Easier to add and remove the agent from PCs. In our experience, others are horrendous to try to remove when a customer leaves. The UI is superior through its simplicity. For us, deployment was also much easier than BlackPoint or SentinelOne. Webroot was easy to install, but …
Chose Huntress
Not only is Huntress a better product from a usability standpoint, its also lighter on system resources and support is second to none
Chose Huntress
Basically we went with Huntress because of simplicity and reputation. We still use ESET for AV but felt their EDR product was reactionary to Huntress existing, rather than a particularly well thought out product.
In my experience, Sophos is just too buggy in everything they do. …
Chose Huntress
Huntress understands the needs of their partners in regards to need a solid solution, actionable items when threats hit, a SOC team that is able to intelligently respond, while also maintaining reasonable costs. Huntress checked all the boxes that we needed from competing …
Proofpoint Threat Response Auto-Pull
Chose Proofpoint Threat Response Auto-Pull
TRAP had fewer false positives and caught more malicious emails. With the host of companion products, it was more complete package. It gives us the ability to pull emails using an admin-submitted CVS file of emails to pull. EOP does not have this capability.
Chose Proofpoint Threat Response Auto-Pull
I have never evaluated TRAP against another product.

A great product that highlights any and all persistent footholds on the network and does a great job on breach monitoring. The support staff are great, efficient, and are able to reach out when there is an issue. Most problems are cleared out/mitigated before we even know about them. A great product to add to your security stack.

It is very well suited for any organization, though the pricing is more for larger organizations. Having auto pull available means you have fewer worries that phishing emails end up in users' mailboxes.

Pros
  • Using the latest industry knowledge of threats that have been ongoing, but not previously known and projecting it back in time against their installed endpoints to identify machines that are vulnerable or breached and when it these events occurred
  • Very quiet. If they alert, it is a thing.
  • Very good at remediation.
  • They communicate extremely well when it matters.
  • While there are the most extensive products more often than not they are the first to alert us to a threat.

  • Finds malicious messages in users mailboxes that were not previously detected.
  • Gives good data about messages post-detection.
  • Integrates with AD.

Cons
  • Now that they have EDR capability, they need to fully participate in MITRE testing for direct comparison against other EDR products.
  • Now that they are going into Managed Antivirus and EDR with isolation capabilities they need to update their SLA comparative to other vendors
  • Support for non-Windows OSes for consistency in a network
  • It would be nice to seed canary files in custom shares on servers.

  • Would like an Azure virtual machine version of it. Currently, it's only supported on VMware and AWS.
  • Configuring authentication certificates on it is not easy.
  • It does not work with RSASSA-PSS signed certificates.

Usability
We dropped SentinelOne in favor of Huntress because the UI was much more simplistic for the tier 1 techs to maintain. It beats the old web design model of three clicks to where you want to go. It is very intuitive. No one needs training to figure out how to navigate its console.

It's easy to use and requires very little administrator hands on.
